Council of Jewish Women Execu¬ tive Outlines Problems of' America That,Demand Correction
NEW YORK CITY.—In a -messaf outlining the groat social tasks tlisit*!' confront the members of the JfattSnal luring the year l!«57TiIrs:"EstelIe M. Sternberg( of New York City, Executive Secretary of this organization, declared that great hour has dawned for the woman¬ hood of America, an hbur that asks her to reveal her sense of motherhood by saving thousands of boys and girls from a life of early labor that robs them of the birthright of youth and the precious heritage of an education. In this mes¬ sage, Mrs. Sternberger states: ,
If w6ftian- is- gifted' with" the power of speech that can mellow the passions of cruelty, the hour lias come,for iter to lift her voice. If woman's heart is filled with the compassion of motherhood, she must reveal it to the world that has lost much of its tenderness for the suffer¬ ings of childhood.
Scattered throughout the United States, in various trades and factories, almost 400,000 boys and girls be¬ tween the ages of 10 and 14 years, who condemned to a life of labor that robs them of the birthright of youth, and the precious heritage of an educa- In some states they work from to eleven hours a day, and allowed to work at night.
'We ought to build up our industry
America without asking our children with their weak backs, to carry an just load of it. We ought to change our laws so that the protection of chil¬ dren in one state may not be endangered by thc lax child labor laws in a neigh¬ boring state. We must" be fair. W« must pass a Federal law that will do away with all this danger and unfair-
"The year of 1925 will witness great battle for the adoption of the Child Labor Amendment. Forty-two State Legislatures will meet during the year. Every mother in America must work with all her energy and with every ounce of human sympathy that fills her heart, to see that the Legislature of her state proclaims: 'Our children shall never slave again. Our children shall not be robbed of their happy years in school. Our' children ishall grow up robust, cheerful and intelligent.'
"The National Council of Jewish Women understands the great problems of America. It believes that, as Ameri¬ cans, .we must nolf think only of our duties to ourselves. Including with! its ranks hundreds of mothers wlio gave the precious lives of iheir sons in the great World War, the National Council of Jewish Women is dedicating itself
tlie work of making this great dream of world peace come true.
"The year of lOSt has drawn to a close, but the portals of a New Year have opened. The New Year, the year of 1925, calls to the women of America to save ita childhood from premature and pitiless labor. It calls the women of America to mdke the life of the farm woman richer and more livable. The year 1925 calls to our womanhood show their love for America by treas¬ uring (he great privilege oi citixenship. The year 1025 calls to the women of America to teach mankind the Iiymn of universal love."
NEW YORK.—When Nathan LaiU- port and Harry Fischel, leaders in New York Jewish communal life and prom¬ inent Tcal estate operators each con¬ tributed $100,000 at the opening of tiie lyiiiding fund campaign of thc YeshiVa of America, a hope which was born in thc Ghettos of Russia during its bloody days over forty years ago was turrtfed
to reality.'
Messrs. Lamport and Fischel wrire tlicn students in.two famous Yeshivoths idcly separated Ghettos in Russia, Lamport at Navaradok, and.Fischel at Mcretz. Then came the anti-Jewish reign of terror which swept over Rus¬ sia and Lamport and ^ Fischel, with thousands of other hapless victinis,of
students were attracted to it, it became Kreally overcrowded and its waiting list began to grow from year to year.
Still fired by the dream of their boy- Iiood, Lamport and Fischel continued ardent workcfs for the Yeshiva, and have been among its chief financial sup¬ porters for many years. They were the pioneers in launching this year the movement to establish a great Ortho- ilox Jewish Center of higher learning in .'\mcrica as an outgrowth of the Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary at a cost of $5,000,000 to be raised over a five year period. When the campaign was launched they practically Assured its success, by their contributions of $100,- 000 each, an unprecedented sum in the
RABBI ELECTED CHAPLAIN
OF CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE
SACRAMENTO.-Dr. Rudolpli I. Coffee, Rabbi of Temple Sinai, Oakland, was elected chaplain of the California State Assembly at tlie opening session of the legisla¬ ture today. Tllis is the first time that a Rabbi has been elected to such a post in California.
The choice of Rabbi Coffee, who received forty-seven votes as against twenty-five for Reverend John Hargravc, was prompted by his splendid work as a member of the California Board of Charities and Correction.

the Russian, excesses, were uproped from their homes and /^escaped'; to Aiiienca. Here, afterthe- iisual yeaW of vicissitudes, tl^ey prospered in busi¬ ness, but their first love, the sacred Torah, was never neglected.
Those Yeshivoth days were vivid in the lives of young Fischel and Lamport and when they were established in New York, they dedicated themselves to the one purpose of founding in this country a model Yeshiva, where the Jewish Youth who wished to become learned in the Law, might study under ideal conditions, so different from the dismal and fearsome days in the Pale of black¬ est-Russia.
When the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theo¬ logical Seniinary was established forty years ago on the lower East ' Side, Fischel and Lamport, then just recent arrivals in America, aided it as best they could. The Seminary was founded along the lines of the Ancient Yeshiva, which for three thousand years has been the center of Orthodox Jewish life throughout the world. As tlie S ary's fame grew and more and
history, of Orthodox Judaism in this country. So inspired were-the support¬ ers of the Seminary by" their gifts, that at' the opening banquet given to only a Itundred workers in the campaign, a sum of *800,000 was realized, being the larg¬ est sum of money ever raised at one time for any Jewish educational project in America or elsewhere.
The $5,000,000 Yeshiva of America will be built on three city blocks on Amsterdam Avenue between 186th to 188th Streets, New York. Its five build¬ ings are modelled' after the style of architecture which prevailed in the Holy Land three thousand years ago during the reign of King Solomon, and the main building is designed in part after Solomon's, Temple. The plans for the institution include a college giving de¬ grees and courses similar to other American institutions, which will be the first Jewish college established ir America. When completed, the Sem¬ inary and College will be one of the world's foremost institutions of higher Jewish learning. '

Amer. Public Health Methods Ridding Palestine of Disease
An Interview With Dr. Simon |
Tannenbaum, Noted New York
Medical Expert
NEW YORK. —American medical, sanitary and public health service, in¬ troduced into Palestine since the Ar- i rapidly ridding the Holy Land of malaria, trachoma and other preventable diseases, with which it has been cursed for centuries, according to Dr. Simon Tannenbaum, Superintendent Beth David Hospital, Lexington' Avenue and llSth Street, New York, who has just returned from a year spent in Palestine as Director of the Hadassah Medical Organization.
Tannenbaum was chairman of thc Health Week held in Palestine the last week in November, when an intensive campaign was waged by Hadassah in cooperation with the Government, to teach the-population of the Holy Land correct principles of public health. The campaign was conducted in Hebrew and Arabic under the direct supervision of Mrs. Nellie Maschcnson, representative of the Hadassah Women.
"Palestine has made wonderful for¬ ward strides in public health," Dr. Tan¬ nenbaum stated. - "This is particularly true in the matter of infant mbrtality, as a large part of the Hadassah work is devoted to infant welfare work, addition to a complete prenatal service for prospective mothers, babies from the day of their birth until the age of two, are looked after in the publi health centers maintained throughout the country. They are also kept under supervision from two years until they enter school, where tliey pass into the Medical School Inspection system, kept up by Hadassah. A nursing and med¬ ical service is also maintained for mothers during their lying-in-periods.
"In all this health work, Hadassah, whicii is largely an American organiza¬ tion, has been guided and influenced by modern public health practices of Amer¬ ican municipalities and states." The Hadassah Medical Organization supported by three American Jewish organizations, thc Palestine Foundation Fund, Hadassah Women's .Zionist Or- g.-iiiization and the Joint Distribution Committee. Although it was formed arily for the Jewish population of Palestine, Dr. Tannenbaum said that] Arabs arc given equal medical attention its hospitals and clinics and through travelling and medical and nursing service.
'One of the chief reasons for the in¬ creased friendly spirit Arabs are show¬ ing to Jews in Palestine, when a few years ago they were bitterly hostile to Zionist activities in the Holy Land, is because of the medical service Hadassah is rendering the Arab population," Dr. Tannenbaum said. "In the Arab city of Hebron, for. example, the Arab com¬ munity voluntarily requested Hadassah furnish the municipality with medical service, for which the community is giving an annual financial contribution. 'Malaria and trachoma have been largely eliminated among the Jews of Palestine, although the Arabs are still heavy sufferers from these diseases, be¬ cause many live at great distances from medical centers and the health authori¬ ties must overcome century-old super¬ stitions in order to treat them. Arab mothers and even Jewish Sepltardim at first refused to have their babies 'eighed in our clinics, t>ecause they be¬ lieved evil would befall them. But now we have trained them to such an extent that if the mother forgets to bring her baby for its weekly examination, husband can be seen rushing to the clinic with his child.
'Contrary to popular beliefs, Jerusalem is not the dirty city it is usually pic¬ tured to be, aficording .to Dr. Tannen¬ baum, who claims that iU streets com- (ConeMttt o» pogt 4)
Mrs. I. B. Jashenosky Passes Away After Lingering Illness
Death of Wife of Well-Known Communal Worker of Colum¬ bua Is Mourned by Thou¬ sands of Friends
The dcatli on Friday night, January !', of Mrs. Mary Jashenosky, wife of I. B. Jashenosky, well-knowji local com¬ munal worker, hrfs brought sorrow to thousands throughout the city. Mrs. Jashenosky, who was 73 years of age, one of the oldest Jewish residents of Columbus, having come to this city when there was but a handful of Israel¬ ites here.
From her very early womanhood she took a keen interest in all things Jewish. It was her noble and beautiful life which inspired her beloved husband in his long period of service in humani¬ tarian causes.
Fuiierarscrviccs for Mrs. Jashenosky took place at her late residence, 1039 East Main Street, last Monday morning, Rabbi Jacob Tarshish of the Bryden Road Temple officiating. In his eulogy, the rabbi paid a glowing tribute to her memory.
Mrs. Jashenosky was a member of the Bryden Road Temple Sisterhood, and of the Columbus Section, Council of Jewish Women.
MRS. MARY JASHENOSKY
1852-1925
A Tribute by Rabbi Jacob
Tarshish
"She looketh well to the ways of
her household And eateth not the bread of idle¬ ness. Her children rise up and call her
blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth
her, saying 'Many daughters have done vali¬ antly. But thou excellest them all'." - These verses, taken from ihe Bible, describing the ideal Jewish tuife and mother are peculiarly '.appropriate in describing the .per¬ sonality of Mary Jashenosky. She belonged to a generation that is passing, unfortunately, a genera¬ tion of mothers in Israel whose • only purpose in life was to look after their homes. Mrs, Jashen¬ osky in Iter fifty-two years of . married life, made every possible sacrifice for tlte peace and hap¬ piness of her beloved husband.. The Almighty, in blessing her with four children, laid upon her a responsibility which she filled nobly and beautifully. Nothitig 'was ever too hard to do for her home and family.. The law of kindness was ever on her tongue, because she spoke evil of no' one, and if any of her neighbors or friends needed hqr in time of dis¬ tress, she was faithfulness and de¬ votion itself. A noble mother, a devoted wife, an unselfish friend, luts passed froin our midst in the death of Mary Jashenosky. Her memory will always linger as the scent of sweet flowers, and God, in His mercy, will send comfort and consolation to all who mourn her.
"We are quite sure That he will give them back —
bright, pure and beautiful — We know he will but keep • Our own and his until we fall asleep."
The family has received messages of condolence from people in every walk of life, attesting to the high regard in which Mrs. Jashenosky was held. Espe¬ cially touching were the messages from the Jewish inmates of the Ohio Sute Penitentiary who have for so many years been served so faithfully by Mr. ~l. Jashenosky. The Temple Sister¬ hood as well as the Columbus Section, Council of Jewish Women, have also sent letters expressing the sorrow of these organizations in the loss of so dear and loyal member. The Binai B'rith Lodge of which Mr, Jashenosky is a charter member as well as treasurer, has expressed its sympathy in a formal note of bereavement.
She was buried at Green Lawn ceme¬ tery.
Two sons, Joseph of Pittsburgh ^nd Mose M. of Cblumbus; two daught^s, Mrs. Benjambi Bornheim of MarysyiUe and Miss Rose Jashenosky, at home; three sisters, Mrs. • Carrie Schwarta- of Columbus, Mrs. j^ta Gottlieb and Un. Wm, Moeller, both of New York City, and five grandchildren survive - ,

Amer. Public Health Methods Ridding Palestine of Disease
An Interview With Dr. Simon |
Tannenbaum, Noted New York
Medical Expert
NEW YORK. —American medical, sanitary and public health service, in¬ troduced into Palestine since the Ar- i rapidly ridding the Holy Land of malaria, trachoma and other preventable diseases, with which it has been cursed for centuries, according to Dr. Simon Tannenbaum, Superintendent Beth David Hospital, Lexington' Avenue and llSth Street, New York, who has just returned from a year spent in Palestine as Director of the Hadassah Medical Organization.
Tannenbaum was chairman of thc Health Week held in Palestine the last week in November, when an intensive campaign was waged by Hadassah in cooperation with the Government, to teach the-population of the Holy Land correct principles of public health. The campaign was conducted in Hebrew and Arabic under the direct supervision of Mrs. Nellie Maschcnson, representative of the Hadassah Women.
"Palestine has made wonderful for¬ ward strides in public health," Dr. Tan¬ nenbaum stated. - "This is particularly true in the matter of infant mbrtality, as a large part of the Hadassah work is devoted to infant welfare work, addition to a complete prenatal service for prospective mothers, babies from the day of their birth until the age of two, are looked after in the publi health centers maintained throughout the country. They are also kept under supervision from two years until they enter school, where tliey pass into the Medical School Inspection system, kept up by Hadassah. A nursing and med¬ ical service is also maintained for mothers during their lying-in-periods.
"In all this health work, Hadassah, whicii is largely an American organiza¬ tion, has been guided and influenced by modern public health practices of Amer¬ ican municipalities and states." The Hadassah Medical Organization supported by three American Jewish organizations, thc Palestine Foundation Fund, Hadassah Women's .Zionist Or- g.-iiiization and the Joint Distribution Committee. Although it was formed arily for the Jewish population of Palestine, Dr. Tannenbaum said that] Arabs arc given equal medical attention its hospitals and clinics and through travelling and medical and nursing service.
'One of the chief reasons for the in¬ creased friendly spirit Arabs are show¬ ing to Jews in Palestine, when a few years ago they were bitterly hostile to Zionist activities in the Holy Land, is because of the medical service Hadassah is rendering the Arab population," Dr. Tannenbaum said. "In the Arab city of Hebron, for. example, the Arab com¬ munity voluntarily requested Hadassah furnish the municipality with medical service, for which the community is giving an annual financial contribution. 'Malaria and trachoma have been largely eliminated among the Jews of Palestine, although the Arabs are still heavy sufferers from these diseases, be¬ cause many live at great distances from medical centers and the health authori¬ ties must overcome century-old super¬ stitions in order to treat them. Arab mothers and even Jewish Sepltardim at first refused to have their babies 'eighed in our clinics, t>ecause they be¬ lieved evil would befall them. But now we have trained them to such an extent that if the mother forgets to bring her baby for its weekly examination, husband can be seen rushing to the clinic with his child.
'Contrary to popular beliefs, Jerusalem is not the dirty city it is usually pic¬ tured to be, aficording .to Dr. Tannen¬ baum, who claims that iU streets com- (ConeMttt o» pogt 4)

MRS. MARY JASHENOSKY
1852-1925
A Tribute by Rabbi Jacob
Tarshish
"She looketh well to the ways of
her household And eateth not the bread of idle¬ ness. Her children rise up and call her
blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth
her, saying 'Many daughters have done vali¬ antly. But thou excellest them all'." - These verses, taken from ihe Bible, describing the ideal Jewish tuife and mother are peculiarly '.appropriate in describing the .per¬ sonality of Mary Jashenosky. She belonged to a generation that is passing, unfortunately, a genera¬ tion of mothers in Israel whose • only purpose in life was to look after their homes. Mrs, Jashen¬ osky in Iter fifty-two years of . married life, made every possible sacrifice for tlte peace and hap¬ piness of her beloved husband.. The Almighty, in blessing her with four children, laid upon her a responsibility which she filled nobly and beautifully. Nothitig 'was ever too hard to do for her home and family.. The law of kindness was ever on her tongue, because she spoke evil of no' one, and if any of her neighbors or friends needed hqr in time of dis¬ tress, she was faithfulness and de¬ votion itself. A noble mother, a devoted wife, an unselfish friend, luts passed froin our midst in the death of Mary Jashenosky. Her memory will always linger as the scent of sweet flowers, and God, in His mercy, will send comfort and consolation to all who mourn her.
"We are quite sure That he will give them back —
bright, pure and beautiful — We know he will but keep • Our own and his until we fall asleep."
The family has received messages of condolence from people in every walk of life, attesting to the high regard in which Mrs. Jashenosky was held. Espe¬ cially touching were the messages from the Jewish inmates of the Ohio Sute Penitentiary who have for so many years been served so faithfully by Mr. ~l. Jashenosky. The Temple Sister¬ hood as well as the Columbus Section, Council of Jewish Women, have also sent letters expressing the sorrow of these organizations in the loss of so dear and loyal member. The Binai B'rith Lodge of which Mr, Jashenosky is a charter member as well as treasurer, has expressed its sympathy in a formal note of bereavement.
She was buried at Green Lawn ceme¬ tery.
